Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Jul 16, 2026
In the end, this is not so much of a takedown of one specific person as of a way of being a person. To shrink down to that person’s size is to lose out on life. In this good and carefully-written play, D’Amour makes that clear.

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Andrew White - Jul 15, 2026
Lisa D’Amour offers us a fascinating character study in her latest play, The Smoker, and under the empathetic eye of Director Shelley Butler we are invited into the lives of normal people we routinely pass by without a thought. As if by accident we meet our central character, a recovering alcoholic known only as The Smoker (the charming and dissembling Brad Fleischer) and for the rest of the evening we watch as he passes the time out on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building, sharing a smoke with neighbors and chatting with passers-by.
